I've been out since 84, gained 30 lbs but would love to fight. Not for the Bush, but with my brothers in arms. Plus, it keeps from sending an 18 year old in my place.

They need people, they should take me. I haven't done anything dangerous since riding my bike without a helmet.

Seriously, they should have a program for us old ba$tards. I hate the war, but I love the Marines.

Hitler received overwhelming support from women voters. If they hadn't had the vote, he may not have got into power. Therefore, was it on balance a bad thing that women got the vote?

Become energy efficient, become free from mideast oil imports, we develop a new safe, commuter transportation system, we reduce dirty coal generators plants and quit putting mecury in the water--is that bad?
But if Global warming is happening and we continue to drive fuel guzzlers, waste electricity, melt the ice caps, flood Florida and the coastlands, create more hurricanes, tornadoes and drought produces famine, is that good?

Undoubtedly he has had a polarizing effect. How long will it take to repair his damage? Should he apologize now for persecuting Imus after all that Imus has done and continues to do?

His remarks have brought criminal, sexist, racist rap music to the forefront . We've all known for years about the outrageous discriminatory and criminal lyrics of rap . Everything from 'F the pOlice' to.. . . . . .. I can't even type the rest, too disgusting .

They exploit women and treat them like nothing more than 'sex objects' .
And Some Of Your Kids Are Listening, Learning, and Emulating their so-called 'heroes' or 'idols' .

Do you think that rap 'musicians' will voluntarily clean-up their act or will it take stricter laws and enforcement ?
Or even less $ales ?

Yahoo recently did a story about the dramatic decline in rap 'music' $ales !!

i am in the national guard and i have not been to basic yet, i was wondering how i can get out legally without it looking bad... the reason i ask is because i would like to leave the guard to join the active army without having to wait.

ok so i heard that there are two contracts one when you join and one when you actually go to basic... my guard recruiter is the only person telling me that the guard is different from the active army and there is only one contract so i cant get out, he says i have to wait untill 6 months after training to make a request, but the army recruiter says that i can tell them i changed my mind and get discharged... i would like to get into the active army ASAP

I just found out that someone stole my debit card number and made purchases online(I have my card and never lost it). The cost in total is $235 from 10 transactions. I filed the police reports and later found out the name and address of the person from the companies he made charges to. I don't know the guy and he live in AZ. I'm in MA. The police made me feel like crap. He said this was too little for them to do anything. It is my money and I work hard for it. It is against the law. Good thing I caught this early. What if the guy do this to hundred other people? I have to go through all these with the bank the those companies. And I am still waiting for all the charges to be posted on my account before the bank can do anything. It is not fair. Anybody have any suggestions?

I work for a doctor in a small practice. It is just me and him. He is very abusive. Mostly yelling at me in front of patients, saying how stupid his "secretary" is, how fat I am, etc. I have been there for about 3 years now. His past employees have left much earlier. I have tried to talk to him, written him letters, but to no avail. Some of the patients now even argue with him to stop yelling at me but he argues back with them. I do a good job. He has even admitted I am the best employee he has ever had. He has been in business for over 20 years. I can not take the constant emotional stress much longer. I get sick before work, can't sleep,etc. He is only open 20 hours a week, so I do not think I could even get unemployment. He also has gotten to where he says other awful things. He told me the other day business was down, "Go out and sell you >>>". Has also told me I should dress like a hooker. As a single employee do I have any legal rights at all?
Thanks,
Elizabeth

This will put a severe strain on on the armed service. Home for 12 months is pretty damn skimpy.

But no draft.

The Army and Marines will be worn out.

Obviously the issue of global warming is very politically charged and there’s scientific disagreement on its causes and potential impact. Nonetheless, what’s the harm in trying to be more environmentally conscience? From my perspective, it seems like the environmentalists have nothing to gain by lying about global warming (other than a clean environment); big business, however, has a tremendous amount to gain by pretending there’s no such thing as global warming. In either case, wouldn’t it be a good thing to lower our dependence on foreign oil, lower fossil fuel emission, and care about the planet a little more? If any of you have ever been to Heidelberg, Germany and compared their local environment to that of say Mexico City, the benefits of being pro-environment are obvious. Any thoughts?

A senior general, trusted by the Bush administration to take over the entire war effort, just publicly rebuked Bush and his entire war non-policy:

"The very fundamental issue is, they don't know where the hell they're going," said retired Marine Gen. John J. "Jack" Sheehan, a former top NATO commander who was among those rejecting the job.

Sheehan said he believes that Vice President Cheney and his hawkish allies remain more powerful within the administration than pragmatists looking for a way out of Iraq. "So rather than go over there, develop an ulcer and eventually leave, I said, 'No, thanks,' " he said.

Bush wants to abdicate role as commander in chief to an unelected political appointee, and the top generals are lining up to say 'NO!'

The 14th Amendment says:

"all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."

Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo now wants Congress to pass a bill denying citizenship to children of undocumented residents. He and like-minded Republicans want to tack the ban on to an immigration bill scheduled to be considered by the House next week.

Is there any other effort?

Why are people being locked up for non-violent drug crimes. These people have a disease and the only hope for them is treatment. The annual cost for an inmate to stay in prison is about $25,000. The cost of an inpatient drug treatment center is $9,000. Yet only 40% of our prisons have drug treament programs, when 80% of inmates have a substance abuse problem!!

Whichever group you side with, please offer your insight on how this conflict began and how it has evolved and changed over the years. I know that after the Holocaust the Israelis, who themselves were displaced, were "given" the lawless Jerusalem, which Muslims considered to be their Holy Land. Also...what is your solution?
